NSW Government seeks feedback on Sydney light rail plans

Members of the public are being asked for their opinions on the design of the proposed light rail line from Sydney's CBD to the city's east.

The 12-kilometre line would run from Circular Quay, through the CBD and out past Moore Park towards Randwick and Kingsford.

But the plans have been met with some anger in the suburb of Surry Hills, where homes are set to be knocked down to build the line.

The Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian says she wants community feedback on aspects of the design that have not been finalsised.

They include where the stops are and the hours of work during construction.

Planners are also considering whether to tunnel under Moore Park or build a viaduct over it.

"I've said since day one that there will be disruption while we construct this project but the positive benefit light rail will provide this city for decades to come will be immeasurable," Ms Berejiklian said in a statement.

"The feedback received will be carefully considered as part of the Environmental Impact Statement that will be submitted to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure later this year."

There are five community information sessions about the proposals being held over the next week.

If it is approved, the Government plans to start building the light rail line in 2014, with the project taking five or six years.
